Nihilist Primo
If y'all remember watching Nickelodeon as a child, some of y'all may or may not remember that one short British cartoon about a clumsy and unlucky penguin called Primo. Well, I really do remember watching it, and surprisingly, it's really underrated due to the fact that it's partially Lost Media. Oh, and what inspired the artwork that I made? Just some random Internet phenomena called the Nihilistic Penguin meme, based on a clip from Encounters at the End of the World (a 2007 American documentary film by Werner Herzog that speaks about Antarctica and the people who choose to spend time there) where an Adélie penguin leaves its pack and starts heading towards a mountain that is approximately 70 km inland. The meme later became a new symbol of anti-conformism, and its popularity rose during the Greenland crisis. (Ironically enough, penguins don't live in Greenland... That's just Donald J. Trump behaving like his South Park counterpart (which was inspired by the Saddam Hussein caricature) as usual). Politics aside, I'm really surprised that I actually find a meme like this, way more creative than the awful memes that we had in 2025 like 6-7, Italian Brainrot, W Speed, Kendrick Lamar yelling "MUSTARD!!", Job Application being scary af, Chicken Stars from the 2023 movie Leo, and the fucking list goes the fuck on. I mean, if only we could have memes with that level of creativity, which aren't just weird noises and cursed images. You can call me a killjoy all you want and even accuse me of having a poor sense of humor, but you just can't convince me otherwise, even by aiming your gun at my forehead and threaten to blow my brains out if I don't chuckle over the kind of jokes that I hear and see every single day. I just don't give a flying, fucking shit about the pointless and nonsensical sense of humor that pathetic weirdos like the iPad Kids have.
